[[File:Qu_Coreolis_Atmosphere.png|500px|thumb|right|Fig. 5. The Coriolis forces on rising and falling air masses create horizontal vortices.]]Due to the rotation of the tubes, there are strong horizontal Coriolis forces whose effects can be seen in observing whether patterns and when any object falls from a great height. Falling objects, including rain and cold masses of air, lack the rotational velocity of parts of the tube further from the centre. From the perspective of someone standing within the tube, falling objects appear to be drawn backwards relative to this movement as they fall. This backwards direction is called ''vo'' in Iliaqu and can be translated as 'south' as it is 90° to the right of the direction of dawn light.
